I do have 2 problems with these though, one the sensors are garbage and I had to turn off. Just turning my head or bending over on the least sensitive setting and the music stops almost everytime. Also, damn they are uncomfortable which is weird as the P7W were very comfortable. But the sound trumps all and they will be staying.

Do you have it set to "Less" or "More"? The labeling is completely counterintuitive with the "More" setting being less sensitive. I've disabled it on mine and prefer to use the buttons.

Weird, I noticed immediately and find it insufferable. When the wear sensor is on, the headphones never go into standby while you’re actually wearing them. And if they’re already in standby, you’re able to wake them up and reconnect them to the last device simply by putting them on. Neither of these works with the sensor disabled. After pausing for 2 minutes, you’ll resume only to find your music blaring through your speakers. The only option is to power cycle the headphones.
I had problems with the wear sensor on a few occasions the first days. But now, a few weeks later I never have problems. Don’t know what’s different but it works perfectly for me now.
I use the medium setting.
I wonder how the sensor works? Where in the cup is the sensor? Is it detecting the distance to the ear or is it measuring something else like the air pressure?
Maybe the shape of your ears is affecting how sensitive it is? And how much movement there is in the jawline and ears when you tilt your head, opening your mouth and other movements?
It seems to work better for some people than others.
Does anyone have ran into the issue where after two minutes, while playing music, the PX just goes to standby? I had my wearing sensors set toe low sensitivity. Switching it off completely fixes it. But it is strange that somehow the music is playing and it goes to standby. Defective unit?
Hi everyone,
Really interested in these as a new pair of cans. I hope Tyll will post a review soon. Wonder how they compare to the new bose ( no aptx hd) and sony m2 version (which has aptx hd like the bowers).
My iphone does not have aptx hd so not sure how much it matters. I dont have a bluetooth noise canceller at this time. I want to try some at an apple store (are b&w sold there?) to see what the sq is like through ios...
Greetings, Anouk,
Hi everyone,
A few more questions:
Has anyone tried these with a macbook air or iphone 6? How was the sound?
Can you listen to them in wired mode (with a cable) does noise cancelling still work then?
Can you use them if the battery is depleted?
Thanks,
Greetings, Anouk,
Hi Anouk. With MacBook works fine. When wired thru USB the SQ is even better. Works with iPhone 6. Great sound. Does not seem to work with depleted battery.
No, no, the PX is Japanese stereo Hi-Fi from the 90's and 1000XM2 is state of the art 2020 sound. Sony have cheaper headphones which sound artificial and exuberant.
Finally had a chance to test them (45mins. but hey, better than nothing). Great, spacious sound... uncomfortable as ****. Guess i'll be staying with Bose (or give m2 a chance).
